3d gaming... for free?

Well, we all know about gaming in 3d, and we all must be aware it's rather expensive, (plus, warframe in 3d is a really tempting idea) but I found a few articles to help you do this for free

Here are a few links:

Starting with the most important, making your screen 3d

Next up, how to fancy 3d glasses (I made mine from a coke bottle O.o)

Always useful, how to make 3d glasses from a cd case

Finally, a paper template for those who have no old glasses around

Last of all, enjoy!

The latest ATI and nVidia drivers come with built-in Stereoscopic 3D feature. No extra software required.

However before attempting to use Stereoscopic 3D make sure you understand the following: Due to the need to render 2 "images" of the same thing you see, your frames are going to drop by approx 25-50% depending on your hardware.

And while it's fun to try out it's certainly nothing for the long run. 3D with glasses for Polarized screens would be more fun since you get to see the true colors and don't have such a hard time to adapt to seeing 3D.

So yeah, it's definitly a cool thing to try - for me at least. But to much of an hassle to play with for hours straight ;< Things can get hard to see with them colored glasses ;<

You have a point... my eyes can't stand much over cinema standard time, (1,30 - 3 hours) but nobody can deny the fun of 3d :D and btw, nvidia 3d cards need a 120 hz monitor, and those are pretty expensive. Either way, i'm glad you liked it

Any Nvidia card (i think series 8000 and up) support at least Red/Cyan stereoscopic 3D through the standard nVidia drivers. I've been using it with my 24" 1080p Monitor which only supports up to 60 Hz. -> Therefore the frames will be less with it active, since the Video card is doing the 3D and not the Monitor.
